2022 Mixed Media on circular board 100x100x2.5cm, unframed, ready to hang (note: this artwork is circular not square as suggested in the image)

No matter how much we embrace our own individual moral compass, it feels like there is a growing disconnect between the set of values some of our institutions live by and our own.
In the absense of examples of just behaviour from those institutions we are likely to justify and embellish our own moral compass, however unaligned with the rest of society.

The patterned off-centre ‘needle’ was created using modelling paste and painted with a brighter colour than the rest of the peice to signify the apparent rightiousness of our own idea of what is good. From within our own echo chamber of morality the perception of our surroundings is one of a crumbling fabric of society. The rough cement-like surface was created using acrylic coloured sand bound in PVC glue.

Rachel creates works in a variety of media, mainly acrylics, producing atmospheric and deceptively understated pieces often on a large scale.
